The imperial concubines walked into Ningshou Palace hand in hand, only to see the concubines bowing their heads and frowning, and the atmosphere was depressing.

Deng Zhaoyi saw Situ Yun coming, and rushed over directly: "Your Majesty, you want to call the shots for our children!" "Deng Zhaoyi had a miscarriage, and came to Ningshou Palace to complain with a seriously ill body, asking Empress Dowager Chen to treat Li Zhaoyuan with death.

Jumping on Situ Yun, Deng Zhaoyi cried: "I think my Deng family sisters are so thin, why didn't they give His Majesty a chance to continue their descendants?" ”

Not only Deng Zhaoyi, but thinking of her sister, the princess in front of her, Situ Yun felt compassion in her heart.

Pity and comforting her beloved concubine, Wei Qian dodged away without a trace and sat in her place.

Empress Dowager Chen and Empress Chen were already on the main seat, vacating their seats waiting for the emperor's arrival.

The concubines and concubines are listed on the left and right, and the following are the nine concubines. Wei Qian and Li Zhaoyuan were next to each other, on the right-hand side.

Looking at Li Zhaoyuan, this Zhaoyuan lady looked uneasy, pinching her handkerchief and not knowing what she was thinking.

"It's rare that my sister is willing to come out to meet someone." As soon as she sat down, the queen spoke again. "I thought that my sister was praying to God and worshiping Buddha all day long, and she was already going to become an immortal!"

Wei Qian rolled her eyes, since the queen gave birth, she has been disagreeable to her. Wei Qian attributed this to postpartum complications and didn't care about her, the queen mother. Every time we meet, we deliberately choose a place with a lot of people. Either Empress Dowager Chen is by her side, or Situ Yun is by her side.

Undoubtedly, it is even more jealous of the king and queen.

After giving birth, Empress Dowager Chen wanted to let Queen Wang recuperate well, but Queen Wang wanted to be strong, so she simply handed over some affairs of the court to her to manage.

is busy managing affairs, and his body and bones are a little weak because he has not finished the confinement, and he is not well maintained, and his appearance looks old, and he is not loved by Situ Yun.

Except for the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Situ Yun spent most of his time in other palaces. After a long time, Queen Wang held back the fire in her heart, and after making mistakes in doing things, she was reprimanded by Empress Dowager Chen one after another. I didn't sleep well at night, my appearance was haggard, and I often made some low-level mistakes, and I was reprimanded by Empress Dowager Chen again.

Wei Qian was often by the Queen Mother's side in the morning, so she could see Queen Wang being reprimanded from time to time.

came and went, hatred was superimposed, and Queen Wang regarded Wei Qian as her biggest opponent.

According to Situ Yun's schedule, it is calculated as 30 days in January. In addition to the two days of Qingning Palace, he rested in Zichen Hall for three days, Wu Guifei, Wei Qian, and Li Zhaoyuan for three days each, Concubine Xian and Deng Zhaoyi for five days each, and the remaining six days were spent among the concubines. Some concubines may not be able to sleep once a month.

Wu Guifei has the identity of a family, and Situ Yun needs to give face no matter what, but she is obviously out of favor compared to before.

Concubine Xian and Deng Zhaoyi are both favorite concubines, and they often invite princesses and dragon babies to pet, and Queen Wang is helpless. But "Israel serves people, and love is declining", how long do these two mothers last?

Li Zhaoyuan also relies on family affairs, and she is the queen's person, the two maintain an alliance, and the queen will not trouble her. All the anger rushed towards Wei Qian, not to mention that Wei Qian watched her make a fool of herself on the Queen Mother's side every day.

Wei Qian's route is not to favor the concubine, but to be a virtuous concubine. Undoubtedly, offending the queen's taboo, a concubine, so virtuous and capable, what does this want to do? Meaning Queen?

As a result, Queen Wang's sense of crisis broke out, targeting Wei Qian every day.

Wei Qian was too lazy to reason with the patient, and sat quietly to listen to the cause and effect of this incident.

When Situ Yun had to ask Li Zhaoyuan about killing Deng Zhaoyi's dragon fetus, his eyes swept over.

Li Zhaoyuan was angry for a while, and knelt down to plead: "Your Majesty, the concubine has been enjoying the flowers in the imperial garden early, where can I do it to her?" It was she who ran to tease the concubine's cat when she was idle. As a result, he was scratched by the cat and fell down, what does this have to do with the concubine? ”

"Isn't that cat yours!" Deng Zhaoyi rushed over to settle accounts with her like crazy.

Walking past Wei Qian, Wei Qian'e frowned slightly, and there seemed to be a strange smell on Zhaoyi Niangniang.

"Is it because this smell disturbs Concubine Li's cat?" Wei Qian guessed probly, knowing that there was someone behind him, but it was none of his business and he kept silent.

Several palace maids next to them saw that the second concubine was almost fighting, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop the fight.

Li Zhaoyuan looked at Wei Qian after taking a breath: "Sister, you are commenting, if your mink has harmed someone, do you have to blame for it?" ”

"......" Wei Qian didn't say anything, this kind of thing can still involve herself?

"My sister is not present, so it's not good to speak." Wei Qian cleared up the relationship, and saw that the two quarreled again.

Deng Zhaoyi did not give up, and Li Zhaoyuan was also angry: "Although animals are human, they are not human beings after all!" Don't you say that you killed the cat in this palace, you still want this palace to give you a funeral? Then why didn't you go to the funeral with your sister's death. Others don't know, isn't this palace still unclear, if you hadn't secretly drugged, how could your sister have two lives in the first place? ”

"Huh-" Situ Yun Huo Ran got up, and Empress Dowager Chen's face changed: "Concubine Li, what were you talking about just now?" ”

Li Zhaoyuan knew that she was speechless, her face changed a few times, and she simply let it go: "The concubine said that she was retribution, she killed Sister Deng and the child in her sister's belly at the beginning, and now God has retribution for her, so that she can't give birth to a son!" ”

"You talk nonsense!" Deng Zhaoyi's voice trembled a little, and she hurriedly explained in front of the emperor and the queen mother.

Situ Yun pushed her away, and said to Li Zhaoyuan: "Say, what happened back then!" ”

Deng Zhaoyi's sister, Concubine Deng is Situ Yun's first woman. Although it is not an unforgettable love, there is always a special emotion for her. Not to mention that she was pregnant with a son in the end, it was Situ Yun's first son, but she left before she was born.

For that child, Situ Yun, who was still the prince at the beginning, has a deep memory. I thought it was those brothers who were making ghosts, could it be the people around me?

You must know that a large part of the reason why Situ Yun prefers the current Deng Zhaoyi is empathy. Even Deng Zhaoyi cried to Situ Yun just now, and he also pulled his sister's name.

"The concubine doesn't know much, but she knows that the sister of the Deng family is fine." Li Zhaoyuan sneered: "Your Majesty, think about it carefully, how Concubine Deng behaved after the death of the Deng family's sister. While my sister's bones were not cold, I climbed directly into bed, hum! I'm afraid this was all thought of in advance, right? ”

"You're talking nonsense!" Deng Zhaoyi took Situ Yun's hand: "My sister and sister have a deep love for each other, how can they secretly attack my sister?" ”

"Affectionate?" Li Zhaoyuan said disdainfully: "I heard from people in this palace that there were many disagreements between the two of you at home, and the concubine saw the sister of the Deng family and Concubine Deng arguing in the backyard of the palace with her own eyes. ”

"This ......," Deng Zhaoyi said.

Situ Yun looked at Queen Wang, Queen Wang's mind was racing, she couldn't have imagined that Li Zhaoyuan would actually turn over the incident in the past.

How did Concubine Deng die back then, and they were more or less unclear. But the real person who did it was Deng Zhaoyi, who poisoned her sister with her own hands, and she and Li Zhaoyuan erased the traces, and even it was their release of water that made Deng Zhaoyi so easy.

But now......

Seeing Li Zhaoyuan looking at her, Queen Wang immediately understood the thoughts of this ally. Rather than happening in the future, or directly characterizing this matter now, Deng Zhaoyi himself doesn't know that we are doing ghosts. Just do it well and you can splash all the dirty water on her!

"Queen, what's the matter?" Situ Yun stared coldly at Queen Wang.

Queen Wang's heart ached, Situ Yun would rather avenge the side concubine who had gone early than look at herself more.

The concubine was in charge of the backyard that day, but she was careless and negligent and let the Deng family's sister die. Afterwards, he had a lot of remorse, and he sent someone to clean up his sister's relics, and inadvertently noticed that this matter had something to do with Deng Zhaoyi. I heard that Deng Zhaoyi was alone in Sister Deng's house. ”

Queen Wang changed her look of doubt: "The concubine thought that Zhaoyi's sister was the one who was out of love after her sister's death. But now that I think about it, maybe it's just like Concubine Li said. ”

In the matter of the palace back then, Wu Guifei and Wei Qian were not there, and the two had no right to speak. Wu Guifei gave Wei Qian a look: "Do we want to make a move?" ”

Wei Qian shook her head secretly and sat quietly and watched.

The two of them maintained an unfathomable attitude, and Yuan Chun also sat quietly on the chair, and Xue Baochai next to him had a somewhat innocent face, standing cautiously behind Yuan Chun.

Xue Baochai entered the palace as a female official, and was directly received by Yuan Chun, who was taken care of and monitored. As long as Xue Baochai doesn't have the idea of being a concubine, she doesn't mind taking care of her cousin. But if Xue Baochai has any bad intentions, she can show thunder methods, after all, it is too normal for the palace to die of illness.

Bai Su smiled slightly, and said from the side: "If Sister Zhaoyi wants to act like this, she can't do it alone. It's better to start with the people around her and ask carefully. ”

"Come on, go and bring the people around Concubine Deng into the court for questioning, and then go and ask the maids around Concubine Niangniang back then for questioning."

Concubine Deng's waiters were cleaning in Ruiming Palace, and she saw one of them when Situ Yunwei went out on patrol this morning. Ordered someone to summon them into the palace and inquire about the incident back then.

"Your Majesty, can concubines and others avoid this kind of thing?" Wei Qian wanted to go back to study immortal arts, but he didn't have time to toss around in this kind of harem secret.

"Let's go back." Situ Yun didn't want to make a big fuss, so he ordered these later palace concubines to retire first, leaving only a few old people back then to ask carefully.

By the next day, when Wei Qian came to Ningshou Palace, he learned the final result from the mouth of Empress Dowager Chen: "Deng Zhaoyi took away the title and was demoted to the cold palace." Li Zhaoyuan inadvertently harmed Longzi, and his status was reduced to contouring. ”

Hearing this, Wei Qian was surprised and said, "Didn't Concubine Li report meritorious?" Why is the position downgraded? ”

"Concubine Deng, no, after all, this cheap maid has a dragon in her belly, and the dragon son killed by Li Zhaoyuan is naturally a big sin." Empress Dowager Chen felt sorry for her unborn grandson: "But it's okay, if you come out of this's belly, the palace will be even more worried about how to face him in the future." ”

"Concubine Li was only demoted by two levels because of her meritorious reporting. But if you don't report it sooner, you won't report it later, but at this time, the emperor also has a little resentment in her heart, and in the future, you can grasp it! Holding Wei Qian's hand, Empress Dowager Chen said meaningfully.

Wei Qian's face changed, and she changed the topic: "I heard that His Majesty will be going on a southern tour soon, I don't know who this harem person is going to take?" ”

Emperor Taishang saw that Situ Yun's rivers and mountains were gradually stable, so he thought about it and wanted to go down to the south of the Yangtze River. Situ Yun took the opportunity to completely defeat the Zhen family, so he ordered someone to prepare for his first southern tour and go south to visit Emperor Tai.

"Don't worry, this palace still wants to go to your orchard to have a look, and I will definitely take you there this time." The Queen Mother has a calculation in her heart, when Wei Qian is in the limelight, maybe the relationship with Situ Yun will warm up, and Situ Yun will be able to walk out of the current shadow. It would be even better if a dragon son could be born.
